Ultraviolet Sensors
SDL develops ultraviolet sensor systems that operate between 110 to 400 nanometers (.11 to .4 µm). These UV spectrometers and photometers have flown in critical missile defense applications as well as atmospheric research campaigns providing valuable data for a variety of applications:
- Theater Missile Defense and National Missile Defense
- Kinetic Kill Vehicle testing
- Atomic Oxygen sensor systems to better understand the structure of the neutral atmosphere
- Capturing atmospheric occurrences including sprites and other electrical discharge phenomena, as well as measuring atmospheric particle size, composition and distribution
